adam levine
was the host of the show. he did in his opening monologue a scene that was kind of like "the voice," and he needed coaches to help him host. there were three different coaches in the chair. they turned the chairs around. andy sandburg was one, and
cameron diaz
was the other, and then there was a surprise host. they wanted him to do well and take his shirt off. here's the third surprise host. take a listen.

>>jerry seinfeld
. wow.

>>hello, adam.

>>wait. wait a minute. you want to help me host?

>>that's right, adam. i should be your coach. i get you. appealing, not as jewish as your name. i know that racket inside and out. i spent nine years on this network threading that needle, and i had to work hard at it. i didn't have an interesting look like some people. please, whatever you do, don't take your shirt off.

>>oh. thank you.

>>with that many tattoos it's hard to know if he took his shirt off.

>>we're doing a
spinning wheel
with games on it. we're going to get a couple of people who are just outside on the plaza. it may be one of them, but probably unlikely. they're going to spin a wheel and play a game with us during the last two minutes of the show, and it's going to be fun.

>>it's going to be a different game every day.

>>depending on who we pick. we're excited, and we can't wait to see who comes in. okay.
super bowl
is coming.

>>it is.

>>that means commercials are coming.

>>and they're, what, $4 million for a 30-second spot.

>>is it?

>>i think that's what it said. what it said.

>>here's the thing, what the
smart people
in advertising are doing? they're releasing commercials early, as you know, so we are --

>>on-line basically.

>>on-line or they get played in places like our show. now, in one case a commercial is doing something with three different endings, and they're letting you --

>>can you vote.

>>the viewers can decide. anyway, here's something.

>>for an
audi
.

>>yeah,
audi
.

>>look at you. so dashing. come on. nowadays lots of people go by themselves.

>>no, they don't.

>>yeah.

>>hey, son. have fun tonight.

>>oh, that's cute.

>>yeah.

>>cute. what's that? the prom picture of his
mom and dad
. is that a prom picture of his
mom and dad
?

>>i think it's him.

>>his
mom and dad
with do-ups like that.

>>that's our favorite, apparently. so you can go on-line and vote. that is our --

>>funny, i don't remember that moment. it's cute.

>>it was cute.

>>i like that idea.

>>i thought he was going to come on to a girl and she wasn't going to go out with him until she saw that it was an
audi
and go, oh, in that case.

>>then you don't want her, do you?

>>he doesn't want her for anything other than just the evening anyway, hoda. he's 17. you know his frontal lobby will not even be finished until he is about 24.

>>that's sad.

>>here's something that's creepy. this is that marriage one. remember this one? there is a girl out there who -- we want to know if you think this is okay. she doesn't have a boy fwrend or even a prospect of who she may marry, but she's decided plan her entire wedding now so that way it takes the headache often of it when it actually comes to fruition at the end.

>>at least a decade before she meets someone. she has printed pictures of hairstyles, flower arrangements, rings, even looked up locations and found --

>>weird.

>>-- found a wedding planner. if you don't have a guy in mind, why are you planning?

>>i just think -- i -- first of all, are you the same person you were a month ago much less five years ago?

>>no. yeah.

>>it's an exercise in futility. it's very, very -- it reeks of desperation and it's sad. she should go work in a homeless center or something and be with people that have real problems.

>>right. and stop picking out your flowers.

>>she might meet a potential husband. you know what, get out of herself, and she will probably meet somebody. that's a selfish -- self-absorbed -- she's a lovely
human being
if we would meet her.

>>what are your favorite things?

>>faith thing i've been trying to tell is mary used this. i have -- she shapes our eyebrows for us. when we have benoit from for a while, they get wiry and out of control. this is a product called hourglass arch sculpting brow pencil. $32 at hourglass cosmetics.com.

>>have you to brush them.

>>or you can find it at sephora. it has the brush, which many of them, do and it's vegan, by the way.

>>vegan?

>>you can eat it. anyway, i don't know if you can see this. you know how you want to shape your eyebrow? it needs to be angled, and it has a waxiness to it so when you shape your brow, it stays put, and you don't look like -- you know
donald trump
's has a life of their own. that's fine on donald, but on you that's not okay. i want milania brows, not donald brow where's sdmroosh if you are looking for a pair of leggings, and you say you can't find the right ones or they stretch in the back. these are the best leggings in the world. these will be the only pair you'll buy. you might buy three or four less expensive ones. they're $90. they're bit white and warren. can i just -- can i tell you something? they are the best leggings. they don't lose their shape. they are comfortable. white and warren.com. i wear them. i live in them.

>>you certainly do, hoda. let's get a new pair.

>>you won't -- you only immediate one, like
anderson cooper
. one pair. you'll wear them to death.

>>wash them on occasion.

>>when i left about ten days ago, you were in them. when i arrived in chicago, you were in them.
